What is the current situation and market demand of Chinese drones?

The development of military unmanned aerial vehicles in China started earlier. As early as 1964, the type I UAV was born, and the type II UAV was also developed in the 1970s. Subsequently, the S- 100 UAV was developed, which enabled the UAV to fly at a speed of 100 m/s, and also made an important contribution to the modernization of our military training.

Compared with the military drones that started earlier, China's civil drone market did not attract enough attention in the early stage, with centralized management units and no long-term planning, which was in a disorderly development state. However, in recent years, due to the development of technology and the traction of demand, especially the frequent occurrence of some natural disasters, there is an urgent need for a means of disaster monitoring, evaluation and search and rescue, which has aroused the concern of relevant parties about civil drones, and has rapidly warmed up and gradually penetrated into public life. By the end of 2020, the market share of civil UAVs in China has increased from less than 65,438+00% in 2065,438+04 to about 37.2%.

The military drone market is still active

China's military unmanned aerial vehicles started in 1964 and 1980. At first, they were mainly used as targets and jamming decoys for air defense systems. After 2000, relevant research institutes and universities in China actively cooperated to develop various types of UAV equipment. In addition to the WZ-2000 unmanned reconnaissance plane which appeared at Zhuhai Air Show in 2002, it also caused a sensation in the world. In recent years, China versions of predator-Rainbow -4, Rainbow -5 and pterodactyl unmanned aerial vehicles have also been developed.

China has been developing drones for more than 50 years. The research and development of UAV in China has accumulated some experience in many technical fields, such as overall design, flight control, integrated navigation, relay data link system, sensor technology, image transmission, information countermeasures, launch recovery, manufacturing and military, and has a certain technical foundation.

However, in the field of military drones, there is still a certain gap between our military drone equipment and developed countries, which can not fully meet the requirements of high-tech warfare. The existing UAV mission system in China is not heavy, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale mission systems such as electronic countermeasures, early warning and reconnaissance. Platform technology is difficult to meet the requirements of high stealth and high maneuverability of unmanned combat aircraft, and the basic technology is weak in aerodynamics, engine, light structure and high-precision navigation.

In 2020, the market size of civil drones is expected to exceed 25 billion yuan.

Generally speaking, the development of domestic civil UAV in the early stage has not attracted enough attention for a long time, and there is no centralized management unit and long-term planning, which is in a state of disorderly development. However, in recent years, due to the development of technology and the traction of demand, especially the frequent occurrence of some natural disasters, there is an urgent need for a means of disaster monitoring, evaluation and search and rescue, which has aroused the concern of relevant parties about civil drones, and has rapidly warmed up and gradually penetrated into public life. According to statistics, by the end of 2020, the number of registered drones has increased to 523,600, an increase of more than 500% compared with 20 10.

China civil unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) began to rise in China after the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. After several years of development, the application scope of UAV has been involved in land and resources investigation, environmental monitoring, water regime monitoring, disaster relief and other fields. According to incomplete statistics, the domestic drone market is only about several hundred million yuan. Faced with this emerging market, related enterprises and scientific research institutions have also entered the field of civil drones.

With the rapid development of civil unmanned aerial vehicles, the market scale of civil unmanned aerial vehicles in China has been expanding. According to IATA data, in 20 19, the market scale of China civil unmanned aerial vehicles will be 2 10 billion yuan. According to the forecast of the growth rate of civil drones disclosed in UAV Industry Insight, the market size of China's civil drones is expected to exceed 25 billion yuan in 2020.

On the whole, China's drone market is in a relatively active state this year, with equal emphasis on investment and research and development, and dual use for military and civilian purposes.
